Do I recommend this game? I do, if you're looking for something more similar to a cute fantasy visual story with very limited gameplay. I don't, if you look for a game that can be a bit challenging. The art is cute and pleasant. I appreciated the small details and the little animations. However, as many other people said, it's heavily text-based and there's a lot to read. I personally enjoyed reading the stories the characters had to tell (even if sometimes the dialogues were a little bit TOO much), but if you're looking for a game with a bit more of action or thinking, you should very much stay away from it. I can't say I loved it, but I found it on sale in a moment I was looking for a cozy relaxing game with a fantasy theme and, considering it didn't cost a fortune, I kind of enjoyed. Vote: 6/10

Let me start by saying that this is now one of my all-time favorite games I've ever played. Let me break it down. The Gameplay: The game starts off slow and builds as time progresses. The game takes roughly 15 hours to complete and believe me, when it starts to build, you will NOT want to quit. You're an innkeeper, you keep an ever evolving journal with profiles of your regulars (and their info that gets added over time), some rumors that you combine to create quests that get picked up by your regulars, a list of the quests themselves, a map, and your drink recipes with some information about the drinks and the ingredients and infusions used to make them. The magical drinks you craft determines the outcome of the quests that you create for your patrons. The game has multiple endings and they're achieved by the percentage of outcomes you obtained from the quests throughout the game. At no point do you EVER leave your tavern. This is not an exploration game. Your regulars do all of that for you and when they tell you their stories, you'll feel like you were there. Not to mention, they'll bring you back trinkets and ingredients when they do make it back. Characters: Over the course of the game, you meet over 20 characters. Some are even based on real people. The characters are DnD inspired, but even if you've never played, you'll be okay. The characters are unique, colorful, interesting and very lovable. Some even took me by surprise. They're also animated in some of the cutest/coolest ways, some possess familiars, and they build deep/meaningful relationships with the other characters. Most of the time your regulars will order their usual drinks, but I promise, you'll be making every drink in the game and you'll enjoy doing it. Oh! and the music changes based on the characters that are around! Story: The story GREATLY surprised me. I'm usually very good at guessing endings, but at no time did I know what was going to happen. The quests were interesting to hear about and the overall story was pieced together perfectly and left me feeling so many emotions. LGBTQ+: Not sure why this tag is on this game? The game has no mention of sexuality or gender and doesn't feature any dating. There are pronouns listed on your regulars profiles in your journal, but none of the characters actually ever say what their pronouns are. I'm an ally for sure, but I will say, it was nice that the game was more focused on diverse characters and story than hyping up a specific community. The Vibe: Cozy, suspenseful (but not overwhelmingly), surprising at times, very casual, fun, and just a tad funny. Price: Very much worth it in my opinion. I will also be replaying it for the achievements, watching my partner play it, buying the DLC, and buying their next game (already wishlisted). I'd make a pros and cons list, but it'd be useless because I genuinely had no cons. There were zero gameplay issues and I liked that the game can be saved at any point too btw, very thoughtful. Thank you for reading and thank you to the devs for such a wonderful game <3

I enjoyed playing tavern talk. It is very much Coffee talk inspired, and unfortunately doesnt quite get to its level. The story itself is good, beautiful entertaining. the characetrs grow before your eyes and with your help, however the gameplay itself lacks creativity. Each recipe is given to you, there is no search for the right ingredient, or personal creation, the way it is in Coffee talk. the amount of potions is limited, you cant create anything new. After a few hours this makes the game boring and repetitive. Although your choices do affect the story, it is only by chosing one of two options given to you. I wouldnt say the game was bad, i enjoyed playing it from begining to finish. I only feel that it could have been a lot better, when compared to similar visual novels.
